Title: Ares V1 Side Mod
Post by: Are§ on January 20, 2013, 11:51:15 AM
This mod is a side mod for the GCW era. All factions have same weapons and teams have all the same units, but every weapon and most unit skins have been modified. *Skins and ODF changes do not include "snowy" planets*

This mod is online compatible as long as the server host and all players have the side mod in. If enough people like this mod, I'm sure we could have Phobos or Led host a server using this mod so we could play online (which would probably be even more fun than single player). Please post feedback (positive or negative) on the SWBFgamers forum here, as this is my first full side mod, so i'd like to know what you all think.

Enjoy!

This skins are nice, will the skins still be there if i join like the pla server?

Post by: Are§ on January 20, 2013, 12:39:42 PM
No, since the side.lvl has other modifications in it that would make it incompatible with a regular swbf server. But I could upload a side.lvl that only has the skins if you want

Post by: Are§ on January 20, 2013, 10:30:18 PM

Here's some "feed back" and tips.
Well if I were you, I'd really crack down on the Imperial troopers skin, I love it like it is (beautiful neon green!), but if the trooper MSH (models) could be "speculaired" using Hex editor (fairly easy to do), that would be the best skin I've seen in a while.

Also, I like how you changed the laser textures, and if you change the animation bank for pistol odf to refer the animation bank that is in the Rifle odf, it makes the pistol looks so much more cool!

Important tip for guns:
-Rapid fire can get dull alot of times, so if you want to keep things interesting, do NOT over power your weapons!
-Instead, (pretend you're dealing with blaster rifle), make it have a little bit less damage than the sniper rifle, but shoot slower than it would originally shoot.

-3 round burst pistols are neat as well, you can change that by the
SalvoCount = "3"
ShotsPerSalvo = "1"
SalvoDelay = "0.15"
InitialSalvoDelay = "0.0"
SalvoTime = "0.0"
lines, if you Have a Salvo Count of 3, it will fire 3 times in 1 click, you can make the gun have more delay time between fires as well, and salvo delay is delay between the shots.

Important things about the actually "people."
-Try not to change the speed of people too much, too fast or too slow is VERY annoying.
-Too many mines or grenades per unit is quite noobish (IMO), so try not to do that for best results.

I hope this helps, and may the modding forces be with you!

Yes thank you very much for the feedback. And i am familiar with how salvo count works (all_trooper has a three round burst rifle and all_probedroid have 4 round burst blaster).

And i would just like to say that the point of this mod way to over power the weapons, mostly because i wanted to play around with the values for my first mod, but your insight is duly noted!

And yes, i also found that the added speed to some units wasn't necessary and sometimes caused animation problems, ill be sure to leave that out of future mods unless it's needed.

Oops, sorry, i must have forgotten to add that in... but keep in mind that is not what i made the skins for.

But since i have received requests for it, look for the skins to be released on a separate thread soon, I'm a little busy with my next project atm. (working for the amateur mod contest deadline). So I will get to that as soon as possible, and might even improve the skins a little with new found specularity skills.

VERY very nice, most beautiful, I think Disney should re-do the starwars films, and have this type of trooper instead!  Lol
Maybe have a rainbow squad modmap xD
